Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin—who ordered the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 while declaring that the country has no claim to independence and that its people are “connected with us by blood”—doesn’t actually want Ukraine because he already has “enough land,” the Daily Beast reports.
Steve Benen: Tuberville keeps saying what Russia wants to hear.
